Im trying to remove mine but it looks as if the front bumper may have to come off?

Jayp · 06-11-2012, 11:46 PM

Are you trying to remove just the headlights or the entire housing?

Entire housing. Having trouble getting front bumper off.

Guess this should have bee titled how do you remove front bumper? I dont know how to detach the bumper from the side where the siide marker is and as of right now cant pop it back in. :p

good luck have you checked the service manual that was posted?

Memphis · 06-12-2012, 12:37 AM

Owners manual? Yea and its honestly not that bad. The majority of the things holding the bumper on are pop rivets. Done with driver side. Working on passenger side now.

Its pretty much the same thing I had to do on my friends Gen Coupe.

Memphis · 06-12-2012, 12:50 AM

Should have done a DIY. :p

Memphis · 06-12-2012, 12:57 AM

Got to go get a short 10mm and an 8mm. Should be good to go then.

Are you replacing them with JDM ones or are you baking and coloring them?

Neither. I am gettting the lens smoked professionally. Same with tailights except they will be painted red and then smoked. No they will not be black. Just a shade or two darker than stock.

Its why I was asking for someone to photoshop a smoked headlight on an FRS in a couple of different shades so I can use it as reference for the guy painting them.

Memphis · 06-12-2012, 01:25 AM

Bumper is off. Fairly simple. Just need a 10mm, flathead, and phillips.

Memphis · 06-12-2012, 01:35 AM

Headlights are tricky to get out. They have a guard around them that holds them in place.

Memphis · 06-12-2012, 01:43 AM

Well got one headlight out and....shattered the other.

JUST KIDDING! But my electric impact did run out of juice so I cant get the other out until later.

Memphis · 06-12-2012, 09:47 AM

Headlights out and delivered to shop. Just need someone to do a quick photoshop of frs headlights in a couple of different shades of smoke. Would be greatly appreciated.

I am

I know a lot of people are wondering how to do it. I promise its not hard and is really straight forward. I mean, all you need is a 10mm deepwell, an extension, phillips screwdriver, and a flathead screwdriver.

The front cover then just pops right off.

SOMEONE PLEASE DO A PHOTOSHOP OF FRS HEADLIGHT FOR ME PLEEAAAAASSSEEEEEE! I NEED TO EMAIL THE GUY SO HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO!

Memphis · 06-12-2012, 11:23 AM

Have not found any. Thats a lot of pages to sift through :p

I just need someone to basically put a layer of black over the headlights in photoshop.

Then another layer and then another layer on the same picture. It doesnt have to be perfect :p
